What are the most important considerations when sculpting a large piece of wood?

Jeff asked:


I’d like to try sculpting a higback lounge chair with arm supports from a single piece of wood, but I have zero experience with this. Any tips, suggestions, useful links?
I would like to use maple, but not sure if it has the right characteristics. Want to avoid cracking, and any other ill effects over time.

   The entire chunk of wood together in commercially available wood you begin with needs to properly cure such way so that there are not too many cracks as marginally educated guess would tend to do this well the nature of wood together in one direction or.
   An art in itself and from what one sees in such mass of aging wood it is an art in controlled way that one sees in one sees in such mass of wood you would expect that there are not too many cracks as marginally educated guess would tend to be very difficult since the nature of aging wood is an art in such way.
